I still follow my instincts, but it definitly helped at least understand how sleep develops.<BR/><BR/>For the most part LG sleeps 11-12 hours at night, he has since 11 weeks and is now 4 months. He doesn't settle easily either. We found that the early bedtime is key. If we don't get him to bed right when he gets tired, he gets up early in the morning or once during the night.<BR/><BR/>Naps are a problem though. If I make any noise in the house he wakes up. I've been leaving a radio on for background noise and that seems to help some.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708675281321049193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17064937.post-7071023578657605042008-03-22T17:40:00.000-04:002008-03-22T17:40:00.000-04:00Oh my, sleeping- right now Rylan is sleeping on hi...Oh my, sleeping- right now Rylan is sleeping on his dad's chest and that's where he's been for almost 2 hours!

If not, you should. They've been a Godsend at our house. My little Bo is the same age as Birdie and while we are having a bit of a regression right now, overall, it hasn't been too horrible with the sleep stuff. *I just jinxed myself -- I'm sure I'll be up all night with him now.*Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418041735007521091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17064937.post-85131300082784930302008-03-20T21:46:00.000-04:002008-03-20T21:46:00.000-04:00The earlier bedtime can be magic.

We let it go until she started to outgrow it. Well, first we propped it up with a pillow so she wouldn't fall out, but then we finally had to find another way. Enter tummy sleeping. She'd been napping on her stomach since she was around 4 weeks old. We'd always watch her while she did it to make sure she was breathing. I worked like crazy to get her rolling over, and when she got there at 3 months, we started letting her sleep on the belly all night. Because, you know, then she could get herself out of a breathing bind, if she needed to. Works great. How does Birdie like sleeping on her stomach? Have you tried it? <BR/><BR/>I think my next baby may get to be a stomach sleeper from day one, if that's what s/he is into.Furrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617566957749784387noreply@blogger.com
